Olivado is based at Kerikeri in New Zealand's beautiful Bay of Islands. The main business of Olivado involves avocados and olives; two very healthy, wonderful fruits. Their products are pressed at their own purpose-built plant, which is unique in the world in that it is able to produce high-quality, extra virgin, cold-pressed oil from both fruits using the same process. The plant is also the largest continuous-process plant producing these types of oils in Australia.

Their Omega Plus Extra Virgin Oils combine what they do best-- avocado oil and olive oil blended with flax seed oil. Olivado Omega Oil is selected from natural oils to produce an optimal blend of Omega 9, Omega 6, and Omega 3 fatty acids. These latter two fatty acids are an essential source of necessary nutrients in our diet. Olivado Omega Oil is free of trans fatty acids, is low in saturated fatty acids, and contains no cholesterol. Other micro nutrients essential for good health and contained in this oil are Vitamin E, chlorophyll (the green color), lutein, and beta Sitosterol. This is the ideal nutritious oil for a balanced diet, in keeping with the Mediterranean lifestyle which is known to reduce the risk of diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke.

As well as being good for you, Olivado Omega Oil also tastes great and is a versatile cooking ingredient in dressings, smoothies, cooked vegetables, and as a shallow pan frying oil.

I've been taking this specifically made oil as daily ingestion of a tablespoon. I like it for health reasons. Keeps digestive tract regulated.

Nice taste and healthy too.

Have been making my salad dressing out of your oil and it has a nice taste and lots of good healthy stuff in it. Thanks

Omega Plus

I have yet to try this oil. I am into living a healthier lifestyle and products that help me do this are what I want to use. I expect to be pleased with Omega Plud.

Wonderful Product...Use All The Time

This is one of my favorite IGourmet products. I use it all the time - even for sauteing instead of Canola oil. I use it on salads. And it is wonderful for roasting potatoes - cube potatoes; mix with a little Omega Plus Oil, herbs de provence, garlic powder, seasoned salt, pepper - roast at 400 for 30 minutes - Yum!

Excellent!

The Omega Plus Extra Virgin Oils with avocado oil, olive oil, and flax seed oil is excellent. Not too heavy. If you're looking for something that's good for your health and tastes good too - give this product a try.
